What this isn't
Not a course.
You don’t watch videos. Austin builds with you.
Not a Slack group.
No mass-channel noise. Direct line only.
Not generic AI training.
Skills are built around how you actually work, not a template.
Not a junior consultant.
Austin runs every engagement personally. No pod, no handoff.
How It Works
Four phases. Each clickable.
Selection Process
~2 minutes
Email + ninety-second questionnaire: role, monthly revenue, headcount, intended program participants, start timeline.
Within 48 hours
Every application read by Austin personally. Looking for fit: stage, intent, seriousness.
20 minutes
Not a sales pitch. Align on goals and confirm fit on both sides.
Engagement begins
Sign agreement, book Day 1, begin the intensive.
A note from Austin
Most founders try to integrate AI alone.
They buy tools, watch tutorials, paste prompts. Six months later the team still works the old way and the founder is exhausted.
That gap is what this program closes.
I've been the COO of an a16z-backed startup that scaled past $30M. I built a $1M agency while at JPMorgan. I've seen which workflows actually stick and which are theatre.
And the reality with AI is that this is existential. You unfortunately (or fortunately) HAVE to learn how to do these things, and that's who this is for. People who are ready and eager for change.
In 30 days, I'll install an AI-native operating system. Then I stay on as your partner, keeping it sharp.
No pod. No junior consultant rebranded as an AI expert.
